does The Rock count as part of Target's DEI program?

[jadillac]

Target sells his line of skincare, named after his father and grandfather.

Since their other Black-owned products/entrepreneurs are on the DEI chopping block, does Rock count, too?

Or is the Rock too big/famous to get treated like the other Black entrepreneurs?

I know responses in here will be funny, but I'm genuinely asking. What do you all think?

Of course not, remember rock's comments before the election?

THE ROCK? the man who was the father of Alexandra Daddario in that earthquake movie?

 

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

1. The Rock is racially ambiguous which is what Americans love. He can be seen as the status quo white guy to white Americans while also appearing as a minority to other minorities. It’s why he’s so successful.

2. Because of his name and his racial make up Target will pretend he doesn’t fall in with the typical DEI person.

3. But lastly, I thought Target didn’t get rid of all minorities brand products. Is that not true?

That's the sentiment.

They don't appear to have made any distinctions in what they're getting rid of. Unless I missed the news article.

I wouldn't say that. He always points out his Dad was Black and Mother's side Samoan.

It's great that white ppl like him, but he doesn't deny his ethnicity like say a Vin Diesel
